I'm really enjoying looking at these fantastic skyline shots. Aura is a fine looking tower with great massing. I imagine the vitality of Downtown has grown by leaps and bounds since I was last there many moons ago.

I moved to Toronto in 2001 from London UK. The city has changed dramatically since then. The streets are far busier, there's way more 'stuff' on every block, the number of new buildings is astonishing, and the city is heading 'upmarket' in a hurry.

What initially felt like a cyclical building boom changed into one of those once in a century booms some cities go through as they morph into an entirely different type of place. It might be another decade or two before things settle down a bit.

I love pictures of Toronto's high buildings looming up through the woods of Don Valley, and other ravines.
It's such a dramatic contrast. Wish there were more like it.

We purchased this one for our site as it was better than any we'd taken ourselves. Not too surprising when it's taken by a professional who knows how to apply filters.

The skyline will no longer have "TRUMP" displayed next to the quarter onion pencil.

Wow, some of these are fantastic. One of my favourite views of the downtown skyline is from Riverdale East Park just off Broadview. A highly underrated spot!

I like the photos you have, but the CN tower and the CBC building is my favorite.

The first one looks great especially with some favorites peeking out it looks perfect!

Nice vantage point to view the skyline but that stuff in the foreground is astonishingly ugly. Strip mall with 100% asphalt parking lot, sad looking bushes/trees, metal crash barricade, chain link fence, awful central median, overhead wiring, no pedestrian realm whatsoever (what exists is a narrow band of concrete), weeds growing through cracks in asphalt, etc. It would be hard to make it uglier.

When stuff like this gets built you can tell that absolutely no thought went into appearance. Even if they had thought about it I doubt they'd have a clue how to do that. Everything about it is crude, drab, depressing, and primitive.

That description sums up much of Kipling. A road I have a dislike for, for no specific reason other than that I don't like it. And I've eaten at that Swiss Chalet a couple of times after events.

Even the continuation part of it in Vaughan, which is nothing like the Etobicoke stretch, has a clusterfuck of an intersection with Hwy. 7.

I was very close to getting a higher up job at a boutique commercial mortgage firm just off Kipling, north of the QE, on an industrial road for some reason. I had serious hesitations about taking it knowing I'd have to do that drive everyday. Not just the Kipling part, but being industrial in Toronto, which usually means either rundown or dreary looking, as opposed to newer industrial like in the burbs, which I actually like driving through.

I have also taken the GO from Etobicoke North once and drove around there another time to look at a used car. Just disgusting. I have no other way to describe it.

Interestingly, I briefly took a job that required me to take Kipling then head further west down the Queensway. I also like driving but having to travel through crap like that did factor into my decision to leave. After a few weeks of it you question whether you want to spend 5 hours a week being visually assaulted.

As huge as Toronto's boom has been, it's barely putting a dent into the huge swaths of metro that look like that. The level of construction will have to continue for another 40 years or ramp up further to fix it all. Downtown has seen massive investment and it's only half way there. I'm glad things are improving so quickly but we have a long long way to go.
